Grief Therapists in 94401

Hi there! With everything happening in the world right now, life may be very overwhelming, leading us to feel isolated, anxious, depressed, stuck, and helpless. I am here to help you navigate through these life challenges, find a healthy balance, and help you find tools to cope and grow. I help teens, adults, and families transform their grief, traumatic experiences, anxiety, depression, and other overwhelming emotions into healing and hope.

"Sometimes a little insight makes all the difference." I'm an experienced counselor who overcomes the obstacles of every day living despite vision loss. My specialty is helping people navigate through life altering crises such as the trauma of chronic health issues, divorce, job loss, behavior concerns in children, adolescence and teens. In my practice, I see people who are experiencing depression, anxiety, anger, PTSD, and the emotional responses to vision loss and blindness. I've been counseling for 25 years and I'm in the examination process of licensure. This is my passion. I look forward to working with you.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I have been in private practice for twenty-eight years and I believe therapy issues are all related to loss. I specialize in working with children of divorce, those who have lost a loved one, men with anger issues, and the problems of teenagers. I am the author of five self-help books. My new book is titled Letting go of Grief: Move your Body to Rock and Soul. You can check it out here: http://tinyurl.com/k8kggrv

My approach to therapy is to help my clients work their way through the layers of injury, loss and protection that surround them, to reach the more open, undefended core inside. I believe it is the experiencing of that deepest part of ourselves which makes us feel alive and makes us feel connected to ourselves and others. I work to create a safe, compassionate environment in which healing can happen in moments and over time. I work with couples and individuals to help them recognize and alter the patterns that seem to get them stuck in their relationships.

When life is overwhelming, therapy offers guidance, support, and a safe place for healing. I work with children, teens, adults, and families using a holistic, mindfulness-based approach. My goal is to help you create positive, practical, and lasting change.

I graduated from California Institute of Integral Studies with a Masters in Counseling Psychology, and have done extensive training in Person-Centered Expressive Arts. My clinical background includes focus on community based mental health, family and child therapy, grief and loss, and complex trauma. I currently work in private practice and also as a supervisor at a community based mental health agency.

Hi, I'm Patricia Scheldrup, LCSW. Welcome to Conscious Counseling, where everyday reality and higher states of consciousness meet. Healing through holistic care: mind, body and spirit. Like the lotus flower, you too have likely survived harsh conditions, only to rise again. I will honor your resiliency, accentuate your strengths and help you build new pathways to calm. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience. I provide teletherapy services to adults throughout California and Texas.

As we age, our well-being is impacted by various life transitions such as retirement, physical health issues, relocation, and loss of loved ones. I provide assistance in navigating this new territory with a focus on building resilience, supporting personal agency, developing coping skills, and increasing mindfulness. During psychotherapy sessions and care consultations, I offer guidance in the following areas: mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, sleep disorders, grief and loss, living with illness, disability, and chronic pain, planning for retirement and aging, caregiving and care-receiving.

Our programs and offerings, focused on human and pet loss, can help to normalize your grief, and to make it more bearable and less isolating through a variety of modalities designed to make you feel safe, supported, and accompanied. Our work is open and welcoming to people of all backgrounds, sexual orientations, genders, and disabilities. Without judgment of you or your grieving process, religiosity, or any agenda, and with deep compassion, skill, confidentiality, and 29 years of combined education, training, and experience as a grief counselor and rabbi, I hope through our time together you will find the care you need and expect.

Your mind and body make a powerful, interwoven pair. Is your body expressing what the thoughts are repressing? Easing and gently lifting your sense of heaviness from anxiety, depression, grief, isolation and emptiness of spirit can be closer than you ever believed! Let me guide you to the other side of "stuck" in your personal and professional relationships, emotions, body issues, and success. When we are in a session all the focus is on being fully present for,and deeply listening to you, offering a clear, kind and soothing direction, towards releasing unhealthy thought patterns by integrating with body feelings.

I support individuals and families in coping with challenges related to anxiety, depression, relational issues, and trauma, with a specialization in managing chronic pain, adjusting to illness, and processing grief and loss. Whether you or your family is navigating a major life transition, struggling interpersonally, or grappling with a medical diagnosis, I'm here to help.

Blending my Masters degree in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies with certifications in Yoga, Interactive Guided Imagery, Qi Gong, and meditation, I meld a variety of proven techniques to individualize your therapy based on focused objectives. I empower women, couples and families with the tools they need to face the challenges in their lives that arise authentically and self-sufficiently. I specialize in grief/loss, parenting issues and anxiety. My free time is spent with friends, watching movies or hiking in nature as well as exploring the Bay Area. I am supervised by Tara Cronin, LMFT.

Changes are hard, but not impossible. I believe lasting change occurs through profound self-understanding and awareness. This can be achieved through a collaborative relationship where we talk and think together to gain insights and meanings. My role is to provide a safe environment where a trusting relationship can be built. By listening to your stories, I will help you process the thoughts and feelings that emerge in order to develop a deeper understanding of your past traumas, inner conflicts, and destructive patterns. These newfound insights will then guide you to make changes in your current relationships or life situations.

Louise works with individuals, couples and families to help them improve their relationships and make healthy adjustments to change. She considers difficulties to be opportunities and catalysts for growth. She believes that people are often blocked from reaching their full potential in life by fears, resistances, and past conditioning. In a safe and caring environment, she helps people to explore these blockages, increase clarity, accept responsibility and develop greater awareness of themselves, others, and their environment.

Are you feeling stuck in your life, your relationships or your job, or going through challenging life transitions? I strongly believe that we all have tremendous capacity for change, growth and healing. Drawing upon my professional training in body-oriented psychotherapy and decades of meditation practice, I can assist you in quieting your mind and taping into your own truth, strengths and wisdom within. Psychotherapy that integrates body, mind and spirit can help you move beyond the problems to release the creative energy, optimism and hope necessary to lead you to a more authentic and fulfilling life.

Looking for a new way to experience therapy via a transformative conversation? Sometimes talking can feel like an interrogation, here I offer us conversations to move through and process feelings of depression, anxiety, complex grief and trauma, relationship conflict, or day to day life stressors that can feel overwhelming at times. It is through these conversations that we can identify those areas that have left you feeling stuck or lacking motivation that have held you back from living a life that you see for yourself.
